FILM TESTED Canon Auto Zoom 518 Super-8 movie camera
A lovely example of the very compact Canon Auto Zoom 518 Super-8 cine camera. Takes regular Super-8 film (widely available) and takes awesome retro-style videos.
See the gallery for a test film shot on this camera. Note that we clean the film gate to remove any hairs / debris prior to dispatch.
